A lot of people have asked that question, here is my most recent version of the answer. There are two implementations of TCP/IP for standard Minix that I know about: 1. Phillip Homburg (philip@cs.vu.nl) wrote a version of tcp/ip that requires version 1.6.16 of Minix. It does not implement sockets and requires a WD8003 ethernet adapter. The package is available at ftp.cs.vu.nl:/pub/philip/1.6.16.tcpip. I have had only one report from a user of this version other than the author. That report said performance seemed good on those aspects he had tested. 2. Michael Temari (temari@temari.ae.ge.com) released version 4 of Tnet, his implementation of tcp/ip for Minix, in summer 1993. Tnet can be installed on Minix 1.5.10 (although extensive kernel patches must be applied and the kernel recompiled) and supports sockets. I have seen it on a number of ftp sites, including nic.funet.fi and ftp.vmars.tuwien.ac.at. I have been in contact with a number of users. One user, Kevin Duling (kduling@carl.org) added a few improvements to version 4, which he sent me by e-mail, but I don't believe they have been posted to any ftp sites. Another user, Mariusz Ostrowski (s133766@ia.pw.edu.pl) posted to nic.funet.fi an ethernet driver for Tnet that supports WD8003, 3c503, NE1000, and NE2000 ethernet adapters, and I have successfully installed Tnet with all of these except the NE10000. I believe Mariusz is planning a new release with some small corrections soon. As far as I know, no-one has ported either of these packages to any non-IBM Minix system. There is a third implementation of TCP/IP as part of the Minix-386vmd 1.6.25.1 package, which is also available from ftc.cs.vu.nl. This of course runs only on Intel 80386 or '486 machines. There is a working version of Minix 1.5.10 with Tnet running on the net as minix1.hampshire.edu. It is not meant to be an ftp site at this point, but guests are welcome to log in as "guest" and to look at the various configuration files in /usr/tnet. Performance is not great and would probably deteriorate if several users logged on at once, but it has been working reliably for almost six months, with no known crashes due to software problems. Any additions or corrections to these comments would be welcome.
